how to train 10 month old schnauzer to come when she gets off leash?

I have a 10 month old female mini-schnauzer and she is very smart but what i would consider a alpha personality. When she is outside she is either on a leash or a 20 ft. rope. I would like very much to be able to let her off the leash or rope when she is outside with us however every time we try to let her off the leash she takes off for other places in the sub-division and no matter how much coaxing we use, she totally ignores us. I have tried coaxing her with snacks but that doesn't usually work. When she finally does come back, i praise her and give her a snack, hoping that will help, it doesn't seem to work.

I have considered an electronic training collar but have heard so many negative things about the electronic collars, i decided against it. I don't have any idea how to get her to stop taking off when she knows she is free of the leash or rope.

Any ideas.....

That's a tough one if snacks don't work. She'll probably calm down a little more when she's older, so you might just want to wait until she's more mature. But if she's very strong-willed, I can't imagine anything other than an electric collar doing the job. Personally, I don't think every dog can be trusted enough for such freedom; I have a poodle and a golden who are trustworthy, but my beagle could never be let off his leash. And, of course, the pit bull, though she is perfectly obedient is not allowed off her leash except in her own yard.
